The New York Mets lost to the Miami Marlins 5-1 at Citi Field this afternoon to lose three out of four games in the series and dropped their record to 73-64.

RHP Kodai Senga gave off to a tough start in the top of the first and he gave up a one-out walk to CF Jakob Marsee and then gave up a single to catcher Agustin Ramirez and a sacrifice fly to SS Otto Lopez.

After a scoreless top of the second, Senga gave up a two-out double to Marsee in the top of the third and then a two-run homer to Ramirez.

In the top of the fourth, Senga gave up a lead-off double to 1B Liam Hicks and then a RBI single to the following hitter LF Heriberto Hernandez.

In the top of the fifth, Senga gave up a lead-off double to 3B Javier Sanoja and then Edwards reached on an infield hit and Sanjoja scored on an error by 3B Brett Baty and then Senga was taken out.

LHP Brandon Waddell followed and threw 4.1 scoreless innings to save the bullpen.

The Met offense did not do much against RHP Sandy Alcantara outside of the bottom of the seventh after 2B Jeff McNeil led off with a single, DH Mark Vientos followed with a walk and two batters later, CF Cedric Mullins grounded into a fielder's choice to bring home a run.

They went 0-7 with runners in scoring position leaving seven runners on base.

The Mets next game is tomorrow afternoon, Monday, September 1 at the Detroit Tiges at 1:10 p.m.
